Throttle cable adjustement


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

Looking to get the throttle cable adjusted correctly on our 110 300 Tdi.

From the WSM:

1. Slacken throttle cable adjustment ferrule.
2. Hold throttle lever in fully closed position.
3. Adjust outer cable, by rotating ferrule, to give 1,57 mm (1/16 in) of deflection in the inner cable.
4. Check that throttle opens fully when the throttle is depressed.

On step 3, is this deflection referring to that laterally along the length of the cable, i.e. the small amount of slack before the throttle on the FIP moves? As opposed to any side ways play in the cable which seems a fair amount to me.

Thanks,

Simon...

That's it . They can unwind with vibration so a cable tie round the outer behind the adjuster helps
